Carcass (in development)

”The worst thing that a man can do is to kill a hibernating bear in its nest. The soul of the bear will get lost and forever wander the forests, not being able to find a way home to its father in heaven. Frustrated and angered, the spirit bear will turn evil and hungry for vengeance. And it will act vengeance on us humans, not just the ones who killed him… Every human being deserves to be punished.”

– old Finnish myth

American photojournalist SARAH SIMMONS arrives in a remote Finnish village to begin a new career as a nature photographer. In the bear lands of Kainuu, she finds a peaceful nature hide for her photoshoot but when she accidentally witnesses a group of poachers killing a hibernating bear, everything changes. The hunters target Sarah and she must flee deep into the forest. Soon Sarah realizes she is being followed by something else too: a malevolent bear spirit that wants revenge.
Eventually the true purpose of the spirit is revealed when Sarah finds the bodies of the local hunters with the bear carcass. Sarah knows she will be the next victim and makes one last desperate attempt to escape the hide, only to sink deeper into the demon bear’s bloody maw.

Dr. Professor’s Thesis of Evil (2011)

The film is about Dr Professor, the most powerful supervillain of his time. However, Dr Professor has lost his interest for his life’s work. A career, that arose from love of destruction, fear and violence has turned into a marketing circus. Dr Professor has become a prisoner of his own fame and status as an adored supervillain. His public relations machinery, that used to serve him, has become his master. And he’s not pleased.

The movie is being brought to life by a new, innovative technique called Motion Novel, which has been developed by the team behind the project. Motion Novel combines photography, image editing, 3D graphics, music and sound to create a stylish visual narrative that could be described best as a kind of an animated comic book.thesisofevil.com
